Abstract

This study aims to improve cooperation among early childhood children through the Sarcah role-playing method at TK Aisyiyah Bustanul Athfal 57. The research method used is classroom action research (CAR) based on the Kemmis and McTaggart model, which consists of two cycles. The subjects of this study were 15 children from group B. Data were collected through observation and documentation, then analyzed using descriptive quantitative methods. The results of the study showed a significant improvement in three aspects: teacher activity increased from 57.81% (Cycle I) to 84.38% (Cycle II); children's activity increased from 54.69% (Cycle I) to 84.38% (Cycle II); and children's cooperation skills increased from 51.96% (pre-test) to 67.40% (Cycle I), 86.40% (Cycle II), and 95.1% (post-test). The conclusion of this study is that the Sarcah role-playing method is effective in enhancing cooperation among early childhood children at TK Aisyiyah Bustanul Athfal 57. The study recommends that educators develop various role-playing variations to further enhance other social aspects in early childhood.
